Add an Extra Wow Factor To Your Email Newsletter Quizzes
Here are some easy-to-apply tips that will help you start publishing quizzes that amaze and convert in no time.
Set a Clear Goal
Before you start working on actual quiz questions, take a moment to clearly determine the purpose of your quiz, whether it’s engaging subscribers, generating leads, or collecting valuable insights. Just like in other email marketing options, a well-defined goal will help you measure success and optimize performance.
Focus on Your Audience
Ok, so you already have their email address, which means you probably know a thing or two about their preferences, interests, needs, and demographics. Therefore you have the means to create a tailored interactive content element that will make your quiz takers feel seen and valued. And when they do, they’ll be eager to participate and even share the experience with others.
Keep It Short
Make your quiz accessible to busy people. After all, your email subscribers may love you, but they have a life. So respect their time by keeping it short – 4-7 questions usually suffice. This way you’ll get more quiz responses and keep participants happy and engaged without overwhelming them.
Make It Visually Appealing
As a marketing email pro, you already know that great design leads to an engaged audience and pictures speak louder than words. It’s the same with quizzes, if they look great you’ll get more quiz responses. So, add captivating images, graphics, and GIFs to your quiz form to draw your online audience in and stimulate interaction.
Promote Sharing
lastly, an engaged audience is usually happy to share a fun experience with others. So encourage quiz takers to share their results and if your online quiz software allows (ours does!), consider incorporating social sharing buttons in the result cards. In addition to broadening your reach, it can help raise brand awareness, strengthen the sense of community among your audience, and get you more user emails.

Personality Quiz
Help your audience reveal insights about their own character traits, preferences, and habits with a fun personality test.

FAQ
Can I add a quiz to Mailchimp?
Absolutely! To add a quiz to Mailchimp, simply copy the unique link from the Opinion Stage quiz maker and paste it into your Mailchimp email marketing content using a button block. Read the how-to guide above for more details.
How do I create a personalized quiz?
Well, creating a personalized quiz usually requires advanced multi-question quiz logic. But don’t worry, it’s much easier than it sounds. The quiz logic feature, often referred to as skip logic or smart logic lets you serve different questions based on previous answers. In trivia quizzes, for instance, you can use skip logic to adjust difficulty based on users’ performances – if they got a question right send them to a harder one next, but if they got it wrong send them to an easier question. In personality quizzes, you could use skip logic to explore preferences more deeply, while adding a natural feel to the experience. For example, if they select green as their favorite color you could send them a follow-up question about their preference within the green color palette.
What is a quiz funnel?
A quiz funnel is the journey from the first question to the result card. During this journey, your anonymous quiz takers become engaged audience members, qualified leads, email subscribers, or even customers. Just like a marketing funnel, a quiz funnel can boost your conversion rate by guiding customers through four stages, awareness, interest, desire, and action.
